It's real sad times in this country when you can't run to the local gun store and buy a can of black powder. It's about a 3 hour drive to the closest dealer to me, and their only open from 1pm-5pm. I bought in bulk years ago but going to run low one of these day's.

Great site if you were looking for information or something to do, NOT such a great site if you were on a budget or trying to save money for house type projects. Viewing fine guns can lead to less room in the safe and financial difficulties, not to mention feuds with the other half.
